		INDEX CODE:  102.07
		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  Not Indicated

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her enlistment documents be corrected to reflect that she enlisted in the grade of E-3, rather than E-2.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Her official transcripts were not provided at the time of her enlistment.  

In support of her request, applicant provided a copy of her college transcripts, her DD Form 214, and her enlistment contract.  Her complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant enlisted in the Air Force Reserve on 12 May 03 in the grade of E-2 for a period of 6 years.  

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFRC/DPM recommends denial.  DPM states that the transcript provided reflects 52 quarters at the time of enlistment.  In accordance with AFRCI 36-2001, 67 or more quarter hours are required for enlistment in the grade of E-3.  The DPM evaluation is at Exhibit B.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 26 Nov 03 for review and comment within 30 days.  As of this date, this office has received no response.

_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations.

2.  The application was timely filed.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice.  We took notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, the transcripts provided by the applicant reflect that upon the date of her enlistment she had completed only 52 quarter hours.  In accordance with the appropriate directives, in order to enlist in the grade of airman first class (E-3), she must have completed 67 or more quarter hours.  Therefore, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that the application was denied without a personal appearance; and that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
